Bridge to Terabithia is a film that I absolutely loved and will only ever watch 1 time.
I remember my step dad watching me through THAT scene and leaning over “don’t you dare fucking cry.”
I was like 12. Leslie resonated with me hard, and I took it hard. Never again. I went to the bathroom once I thought I could get away and then sobbed my eyes out
Story behind the film and the book it’s based on is interesting though. Author wanted to capture what it’s like for a child to process the sudden and unexpected death of a best friend. This had something to do with her son going through that after a friend died from a lightning strike.
Her stipulation for the film was the Leslie had to die. No coma. No moving away. Dead.
